Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
Ma sel Paul ac Timothy, mwet kulansap lun Christ Jesus — Nu sin mwet nukewa lun God in church Philippi su asruoki nu sin Christ Jesus, wi pac mwet kol lun church ac mwet kasru lalos:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Lungkulang ac misla nu suwos sin God Papa tumasr, ac Leum Jesus Christ.
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
Nga sang kulo nu sin God luk pacl nukewa ma nga nunku keiwos;
4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
ac pacl nukewa nga pre keiwos nga pre wi engan,
5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
ke sripen kasreyuk su kowos oru nu sik ke orekma lun Wosasu ke mutawauk me nwe misenge.
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Nga etu suwohs lah God, su mutawauk orekma wo se inge in kowos, El ac fah tafwela nwe ke safla ke Len lun Christ Jesus.
7 It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
Kowos oan in nunak luk pacl nukewa! Ke ma inge fal nga in pulakin ouinge in nunak luk keiwos. Tuh kowos nukewa wiyu ipeis ke mwe insewowo su God El ase nu sik, in pacl se inge ke nga muta in presin, oayapa ke pacl nga tuh sukosok ac nga topuk kas nukewa lun mwet su lain Wosasu, ac nga tuh orekma in akkeye lulalfongi lun mwet kac tuh in oakwuki ku insialos.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
God El etu lah nga kas na pwaye ke nga fahk mu lungse luk keiwos nukewa tuku liki insien Christ Jesus sifacna.
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
Nga pre tuh lungse su oan in kowos in yokyokelik in pacl e nukewa, tuh etauk lowos in pwaye ac nununku lowos in suwohs,
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,
ac kowos fah ku in akilen ma su arulana wo. Na kowos fah nasnas ac wangin mwatuwos ke Len lun Christ.
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Moul lowos ac fah sessesla ke ouiya wowo su Jesus Christ mukena ku in ase, nu ke wolana ac mwe kaksak nu sin God.
12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,
Mwet lili, nga ke kowos in etu lah ma su sikyak nu sik uh arulana kasru yokyokelik lun Wosasu.
13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
Ke sripa se inge mwet mweun su karingin lohm sin Tokosra Fulat ac mwet nukewa yenu elos etu lah nga muta in kapir mweyen nga mwet kulansap lun Christ.
14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
Ac muta luk in presin uh oru tuh mwet pus wiasr in lulalfongi, yokelik finsrak lalos in Leum, na pacl nukewa elos pulaik in fahkak pweng wo sac ac tia sangeng.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
Pwaye lah oasr kutu mwet fahkak Christ mweyen elos sok ac folkas, a kutu fahkulak ke inse na pwaye.
16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
Elos inge oru ke lungse pwaye lalos, mweyen elos etu lah God El ase tuh in ma kunuk in akfahsrye Wosasu.
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
Mwet saya uh tiana fahkak Christ ke inse pwaye, a ke ngunin nunku kac sifacna. Elos nunku mu elos ac akyokyelik ma upa nu sik ke nga muta in kapir.
18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
Mansis in ouinge! Nga engan kac. Ma sefanna ma yohk sripa uh pa mwet uh in fahkulak Christ ke kutena ouiya ma ku in lutiyuk kac, finne ma ke nunak wo ku ke nunak koluk. Nga srakna insewowo,
19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
mweyen nga etu lah ke sripen pre lowos, ac ke sripen kasru su tuku sin Ngun lun Jesus Christ, ac fah aksukosokyeyuk nga.
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
Ma se nga kena ac yohk finsrak luk nu kac oemeet pa nga in tiana fuhleak in oru ma kunuk, a nga in sessesla ke pulaik in pacl nukewa, yohkna nu ke pacl se inge, tuh moul luk nufon in mwe akfulatye Christ, nga finne moul, ku misa.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Tuh mea kalmen moul uh? Nu sik, kalmac pa in kulansupu Christ. Ac misa, mwe akyokyelik ma wo uh.
22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.
Nga fin ku in moul paht na, ac srakna ku in oru kutu orekma ma ac oasr sripa, na nga tia etu lah pia kac ma nga ac sulela.
23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
Nga nikanla inmasrlon ma luo inge. Nga kena yohk tuh nga in som liki moul se inge ac muta yurin Christ, su pa inge ma se ma ac arulana wo nu sik uh.
24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
Tusruktu ke sripowos, ac arulana yohk sripa nga in moulwin.
25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
Ke sripen arulana kalem sik lah ouinge, nga etu lah nga ac moulna. Nga ac fah wi kowos nukewa in akyokyelik kapkapak lowos ac engan in lulalfongi lowos.
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
Na nga fin sifil fahsrot nu yuruwos, ac fah yohk sripen konkin lowos keik liki meet, ke moul in asruoki lowos yurin Christ Jesus.
27 Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
Inge ma se ma oa uh pa ouiyen moul lowos in fal nu ke Pweng Wo ke Christ, na nga finne fahsrot nu yuruwos ku tia, nga fah lohng mu kowos tu na ku ke nunak sefanna, ac insese in tukeni kwafeang in orekma ke sripen lulalfongi fal nu ke Wosasu.
28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
Nik kowos sangeng sin mwet lokoalok lowos; a kowos in pulaik pacl nukewa, ac ma inge ac fah akpwayei nu selos lah elos ac munas, ac kowos fah kutangla, mweyen God pa asot kutangla nu suwos.
29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
Tuh ke sripen kulang lun God, itukot nu suwos tuh kowos in kulansapu Christ, tia ke lulalfongi mukena, a ke kowos ac keok pac kacl.
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
Inge kowos ku in wiyu mweun. Nuna mweun se na ma kowos liye nga mweuni in pacl meet, ac kowos lohng pac lah nga srakna mweuni.
